India will not retaliate against US President Donald Trump's 25% tariff on Indian goods, government sources said. The new tariffs, along with penalties over India’s oil trade with Russia, will start on August 1. Trump called India’s trade barriers “too high” and described both India and Russia as “dead economies.” Government sources said India will handle the issue through talks, not anger. “Silence is the best answer,” one official said. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal told Parliament that the government is studying the impact. He said India will protect farmers, MSMEs, and exporters, and will act in the nation’s best interest.
